About Us
What
this site is — Reflections On The Conscious Light
is an ever-growing archive of articles written by devotees
of Adi Da Samraj, providing their personal perspectives about
Adi Da Samraj, the Way of Adidam, and related subjects. (See the category menu on the left for more
subjects.) We
will be regularly adding new articles, so please subscribe
to our newsletter, so we can let you know when we do!
Reflections On The Conscious Light is also a multi-media
syndication site, that supplies interesting and fresh content
on a regular basis, to a variety of media.
What
this site is not —This site is not officially associated
with the Adidam organization. The formally approved and official
site of Adidam is www.adidam.org.
The perspectives or commentaries that you find on this site
represent the viewpoints of the individual authors or our
editorial and review staff. They should not be taken as an
official viewpoint. The only voice truly representative of
the Teaching of Adidam is that of Avatar Adi Da Samraj, or
emissaries that He has personally selected. If you find the
articles on this site interesting, we encourage you to further
study Avatar Adi Da Samraj's Teaching, and His Work altogether

The subtitle of this site is "friendly essays on ultimate
matters". One sense in which we mean "friendly essays"
is that we are taking very challenging subjects and presenting
them in an easily accessible manner. "Friendly" also means:
this site is not about proselytizing. Through grace and good
luck, each of us has stumbled across an extraordinary treasure:
the Revelation of our ultimate human destiny, and the Means
for Realizing it. Because that treasure is everyone's birthright,
not ours alone, we feel compelled (and indeed thrilled at
times) to share it with all other human beings. That sharing
is done in the disposition of friendship. And the mode of
that sharing is not proselytization, but reason and Revelation.
Reason
and Revelation — Reason (supplemented by experience:
ours, yours, and others) helps communicate how most of us
are settling for oh so much less than our Perfect Destiny
. . . how, for example, can one even compare a nice meal while
watching American Idol, with Perfect and Eternal Happiness?
Revelation is the only true basis for faith and a life organized
around genuine Spiritual practice.
Reason can help us get off the couch, reconsider what we're
doing with our lives, and make ourselves available to a new
and Greater Alternative, that just is not very likely to find
us while we sit in front of the TV set. Reason suggests that
inviting that Revelation into our lives requires a very different
circumstance.
Revelation is the moment in which the Greater Alternative
finds you, and substantiates Itself to you in the most direct
possible fashion. Revelation completely transforms your life,
gives it ultimate purpose, and provides the means for fulfilling
that purpose.
We hope our articles will provide sufficient reason. But
writing, and all reason, in the end is only words . . . "reflections"
on the Conscious Light. Something (Someone) altogether Greater
— the Conscious Light Itself — will provide the Revelation.
